> You can't just change GP, you have to do some bureaucratic BS first afaik.

No, this is untrue.

In England you can change GP at any time. You don't need a reason.

For other stuff if you want a second opinion you ask for it.

The case being talked about is of a child who had no brain who was being kept breathing by machine. He had no hope of life.

In the UK the doctors come up with a care plan and put it to the parents. If the parents disagree the doctors have to go to court to get a ruling. The English courts are there to protect the rights of the child, and the rights of the parents. The child is given their own independent legal representative.

Actually no. As a programmer I do not need to know anything about exponential capacitor discarge curves and generally anything below VirtualAllocEx().
There are absolutely some homeless people who choose to reject housing assistance and shelter programs. I know because I did some volunteering to help the homeless and met a handful of individuals that were happy to accept donations but refused to be committed to any program. They refused to have rules imposed on them by the shelters and preferred the freedom of doing as they please. One of these individuals has been homeless since the late 80's and seems quite content with his lifestyle. I'm not claiming this is typical, but there are certainly more people like him out there.
You can expand this astute observation to _many_ things other than semiconductors around these parts
A lot of Apple ][ software (including from Sierra, the publishers of KQ) used a package called "The Graphics Magician" for the graphics. The Graphics Magician stored graphics as a series of vector lines and fills, leading to the classic "picture drawing itself" nature of a lot of Apple ][ adventure games.

No, that's not the correct terminology
The roots of Hair do not get removed when you cut your hair, and I'm not sure if they do easily regrow I think they don't (easily regrow).

This is why you should, if possible not dye your hair up to the roots. But the more the difference between dye color and natural color the more this is noticable. Furthermore even if your don't dye up to the roots it's still possible for damage to affect them.

> the entire problem is that you're kept from gathering the evidence.

Well, there's also the fact that the folks advancing these theories are insisting that they're being "kept from gathering the evidence", when in reality much of what they're saying is contradicted by evidence.

For example, the instances cited in the lawsuit where Giuliani and others continued to insist that Dominion voting machines had changed the Georgia election outcome by flipping votes, even after the original results had been confirmed by a full hand recount.
They're talking about Charlie Gard, but they can't remember the name because they don't know what they're talking about.
Experiments to Determine Mode of Spread of Influenza (1919)
"Dr. McCoy, who with Dr. Richey, did a similar series of experiments on Goat Island, San Francisco, used volunteers, who, so far as known, had not been exposed to the outbreak at all, also had negative results, that is, they were unable to reproduce the disease. Perhaps there are factors, or a factor, in the transmission of influenza that we do not know."
How about you throw away your actual HN account too, because people who spread long debunked baseless conspiracy theories aren't welcome here.

Education only makes up 2.3% of household expenditures and healthcare 8.2%.[1] You're cherry picking and ignoring strong deflationary pressures increasing the affordability of food (13% of expenditures), clothing (3%), transportation (17%), utilities (6.5%), entertainment (5%), and furniture and appliances (3.3%).

As for housing, the cost per square foot, adjusted for inflation, is only 12% higher than it was in 2000. (Moreover this doesn't account for the major improvements in new housing stock, such as fire safety, attached garages, swimming pools, high ceilings, central A/C, high-capacity electrical circuits, etc.) The median cost of housing has only gone up, because consumers have demanded substantially larger homes.

And this ignores the fact that mortgage rates are substantially lower than historical averages. Even accounting for our bigger, nicer homes, the percent of expenitures on shelter has barely budged from 18.7% in 2000 to 19.1% in 2019.

Hi, co-author here!

We use a pretty standard tech stack of PyTorch + NCCL + MPI. We've used both OpenMPI and MPICH to varying degrees.

Kubeflow is interesting, but it solves a slightly different problem of scheduling/coordinating ML workflows on top of Kube. It doesn't get involved with how an ML job communicates within itself cross-node.
Cheap cars really represent a missed opportunity for me. Imagine how inexpensive and reliable cars could be they could be if that was the prime buyer consideration? But instead, car manufacturers keep adding complexity (and take less risks) to stay competitive. On top of that, regulatory bodies are also demanding higher complexity (sensors and cameras, more airbags). This is not bad onto itself, however it means that the question of cheaper and environmentally friendly car vs luxurious, safe, and roomy car has already been made for us.

That's a part of why I love 90's cars so much. Reliability was paramount (especially in the Japanese brands) and luxury was just for the luxury cars. I will be upset when these cars start to die out.

I really hope that US/Canada's regulations change to allow microcars. We are still allowed motorcycles, so we are left with a fairly large gap between complete death machine and car-sized SUVs. Why not introduce the quadricycles legislation? Japan has KEI cars, Europe has microcars, yet the US and Canada have nothing of the sort. It is unfortunate.
Having only two sides to any argument seems like part of the problem, not the solution.
I think you really have to look at fed policy and the stock market to understand this. We're in the midst of a barely-uncontrolled pandemic that has caused massive disruption and unemployment in particular sectors, and yet the stock market is hot as shit. I don't think it's irrational to look at that and conclude that it's better to get it while the getting is good.
Trying not to spam, but extremely satisfied with GPD Pocket 2, which I purchased recently. Old enough to have used the very first laptops on the market, was looking for a Libretto-like machine, settled with this.

What drove me to GPD Pocket 2 was the key size, massive RAM and SSD and that it is extensively supported in the new Linux kernel and several mainstream distros (Ubuntu, Ubuntu Mate, Linux Mint, Arch). Delighted to report that I type faster on this than a lot of fellow engineers on a standard PC.

One of the things that makes this more complex is that we should be skeptical of any person, company or machine that handles election data and has the power to make any significant change to that data.

So, I think the dissenters at least got the skepticism part right. The problem, of course, is that a healthy level of skepticism should only inform the investigation of facts, and then perhaps new legislation and oversight. Without the investigation, oversight or legislation... the skepticism is pointless.

For example, it's unfortunate that gaming machines in Las Vegas have more oversight and regulations than voting machines. That doesn't necessarily there is a problem with voting machines, but it does mean we could do more to ensure there isn't a problem with them now or in the future. Dominion has not done anything to lose my trust, but when it comes our elections, we should have proper oversight over these machines (no matter who makes them since there are multiple suppliers for voting machines).
Bro, America was legally segregated then. Give me a break.
"The experiments made at Goat Island [California] by Navy doctors in an effort to learn something about the influenza germ, carry a lesson that every person should study and understand. Fifty young sailors volunteered to become influenza victims, that the doctors might study the disease more carefully. These young men had no fear of the disease; they willingly offered themselves. They were placed with flu patients; they were given jars of flu germs, which they breathed into their lungs; they had flu germs injected into their bodies….

But no cases developed among these fifty sailors! These men had been inoculated; they had been exposed to the disease in every manner; they had breathed in the germs and eaten and slept with flu victims, and not one of them became infected! The medical men confessed themselves baffled. All their ideas of the disease were turned topsy-turvy…. The doctors are still wondering. The explanation, however, is simplicity itself, for it was proved by each one of these fifty young men.

These fifty young men volunteered to act as subjects upon which to be experimented. This showed clearly that they did not fear the disease…."

You're literally describing gambling. I watch people drop entire paychecks on scratchers at the local liquor store every week in hopes of a new mustang. If I head up north to the Chumash Casino, I'll find hundreds playing Keno with their entire lifesavings trying to win it big. WSB's is no different. Hell, it's even in the name of the sub!

Also, although WSB has had some affect on the GME squeeze, it was originally identified by no other than Michael Burry, the guy from the movie the Big Short. He's been in the GME game long before the reddit army joined in.

> Well, they apparently do move markets.

Seems unlikely. More likely that wsb is a sampling of common knowledge among people who invest in markets, and markets also move based on common knowledge.

What is the evidence for this?
I haven't heard that perspective before; the 'U' in "UX" stands for "User".

I think the term "User Experience" picked up in the late 90s (e.g. Don Norman et al's CHI95 paper) when folks felt that the term "interface" had become too narrow and implied a focus on screens and controls and excluded people and what they do with those screens & controls.

The "human-computer interface" originally referred to the boundary where those two systems interfaced and included hardware, software, and wetware. But nowadays if you ask someone to point to the "user interface" they'll probably point at the screen.

If you're interested, there seem to be a cottage industry of blog posts and infographics about the "difference between UI and UX" but in practice it seems that most people use them somewhat interchangeably and I'm not sure how much benefit the semantics debate provides in practice.
> Why was somebody who "lives in" Romania begging in Geneva? Would she not have received social benefits in Romania? This looks like a perverse kind of tourism. Refugees and asylum seekers I can understand but Romania isn't a warzone or dictatorship, it's an EU member state.

Social benefits in Romania are miserable compared to other EU countries. And cost of living in the cities is going up due to business booming. I've seen families with kids sleep on the streets there. It's really sad.

A well educated retired teacher who was begging in Bucharest whom I spoke to for an hour explained it to me. She was very smart and well aware of world politics (and excellent English) but she just couldn't make ends meet. Definitely not an alcoholic or someone 'who doesn't care enough to get a job'. It's the old people that are really in trouble as they lack the skills to work in this modern world and their pensions apparently are worse than in the communist days (taking rent increases / cost of living inflation into account). Many jobs were moved from public sector to private and their pensions evaporated as a result.

Having said that, the young people do really well in Romania, they get good education and all the chances they need. Business is booming especially callcenters because Romanians generally excel at languages.

I wish the EU would start imposing minimum standards to welfare because the old generation there is really getting left behind. I saw people in the flat beside our fancy office who had no windows but just plastic bags hanging in their flat, in -15 C. While outside the Audi's and BMWs from the upper class queue up and the young people are the new middle class, the old are just watching it all pass them by. The gains of the new system aren't divided fairly.

I'm surprised this 28-year-old needed to beg though, their age group have the best chances.

I try to avoid going there, but from what I have seen its somewhat of a snowball effect. You have someone post about some crazy YOLO move they made and see massive gains on. The next time someone posts something a little crazy more people do it. And a few get real rich again. And eventually you seem to have a lot of folks who have enough money to move the needle. And once it starts moving, the FOMO piles on and it gets out of control.

Add on top of that algorithmic / momentum trading following trends.

You have stuff like this person, top 3 post of all time on there from Friday (2 days ago): https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/l2x7he/gme_... Based on the way things went today, they had to be up over $10M maybe even $15M for a minute there. People see that and get jealous. Say they cashed out. Now they have at least 10x the money as before and can move the needle even more. Also worth noting initial price of what they have now is almost $800k. So while the description is about gambling little money, high stakes gambling pays off for some. Going back in history, this person seems to have started piling in to GMU in June of 2019, and kept going since. But no real indication of how much they had to start with, or anything like that. Did they have some other bet that they played before this? No idea.

Edit: Also, forgot to mention if you move the needle enough short sellers end up getting margin calls driving the price further up as they get liquidated. https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/gamestop-sto...

> making a profit from glasses being sold is likely to impact how likely the doctor is to prescribe new glasses.

And beyond that, following the logic from the recent surgery thread: they see their patients see better. They see all the good cases, where someone walks out more confident and with better sight. Their product helps people. But then so do homeopathic placebos (to a certain (measurable) extent), and that's the hard part to figure out.

Of course, in this case everyone truly does see better when they walk out and what GP is wondering about are the long-term effects. This stuff is complicated, though I frankly have a hard time believing this claim of "just stop wearing glasses and you'll see better". Surely someone would have noticed that? But without doing a deep dive into the research here, it's all just speculation on both their part and mine.
That is not the case in WSB. Many of them gamble with amounts well beyond their bankroll, which is not possible with most casino games.

Dominion voting machines in Georgia is literally a computer hooked up to a printer that prints out a ballot for you that you turn in. Ballots are then scanned to get the results.
As a kid, I remember that my myopia disappeared after one summer when I was outdoors a lot. Then it came back soon after returning to school.
I don't get how this hurts the elites or whoever else apathetic to the WSB crowds. Margin loans are collateralized. Wall street firms are making record trade profits (or at least much better than main street banks). Like lottery this can only hurt those who actually play the game.
Never heard of "Zigeuner" being considered a racial slur. I've usually heard it/hear it when it comes to certain people (actually, two varieties even - one tied to the "Zirkus" and the other one being a group of "Landstreicher" basically) but that's not tied to an ethnicity or whatever.

A more prominent example would be the word "Neger" where the media tells us it's a terrible word, insulting, racial slur etc etc, yet however, it is used by normal people in a conversation without any issues. It's funny how irrational media (and some crazies) get, ignoring all context, how something and with what intention something is said. There is always a stark contrast between that and actual real life. I, for one, like to eat my "Negerkuss".
This post is so wrong on so many levels. WSB celebrates wealth inequality. Their two heroes are papa Musk and Bezos. They frequently clash with socialists cult subs like r/latestagecapitalism. This is classic example over-analysis, trying to find some deeper liberal societal problem, when really, this is just a group of immature gamblers who want to get rich quick without working too hard.

Good - There's a clear theme in the motivations of both major mobile OS companies here:

You, a 3rd party developer making custom software products for a mobile platform, are no longer allowed to have customers yourself.

Instead you must grovel and beg and pray that our lords Apple/Google consent to allow you to rent their customers.

This consent can be revoked at any time, you will pay through the nose for it (20%+ of total mobile revenue), and for basically all but the largest of customers - this consent is machine based and you will never be able to get a living person to so much as glance at any content you put into the process.

The claim that the CEO is disputing is that the Dominion machines are operated from a central location which can monitor and control the outcome of any action taken with one of their machines. The "technology" is specifically referring to the Dominion system, not "technology" in general. If the Dominion system does not include remote access, if it doesn't include remote monitoring and if it doesn't include remote vote management then "technologically impossible" is a fair statement.

They are not arguing that it is impossible for such a system to ever be built, they're arguing that their system is not built that way. Voting machines are audited and have a chain of custody, it would be very difficult to argue that "someone could hack all the machines and install this capability" fits within the realm of possibility.
You got it backwards. BeyondCorp-like systems would have prevented that.
